Amazon has finally launched Amazon Music in India as a part of the Prime membership program. The service is available as a separate app on Android and iOS, as well as a web app. Over the past few months, Amazon has been announcing tie-ups with Indian music studios and the results are apparent on the app with the latest in Bollywood and Indian music, along with an extensive library ranging across several regional languages being available. Along with the features that we've come to expect from music streaming services, like curated playlists and offline playback, the Amazon Music app also has an Alexa section where you can use your voice to ask Alexa to play specific songs and playlists directly.
